I would tell no one, set up a blind trust and move to neighborhood with wealthy neighbors, say in Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Las Vegas. I might even change my name. I already have 2 rottweilers, I would probably buy more rottweilers for protection. No one comes to visit me now because they are afraid of my rottweilers. When I had small dogs, people would bother me. Now with huge dogs, no one bothers me and I like it.

That looks like a pitbull or pitbull mix. My rott and I were attacked by the neighbor's pitbull in my own yard, so I now hate pitbulls. My rott and I were not hurt because its owner, my neighbor, luckily hurried and pulled his pitbull out of my yard before it could jump me or my rott. I know it will happen again because that pitbull only lives 2 houses away from me. The next time, I will shoot that pitbull when it enters my property. In Ohio, you can shoot and kill a pitbull when it enters your property. Sorry I don't mean to get off topic, so I will get back on topic.

Yea unfortunaly any dog can be made to be bad (and some are by nature) if the owner doesn't care much. Seems common with Pits, but I've met a few awesome ones in my day. Definitely love Rotties though, I have a good friend with a 110 lb Rottie and he's one of the nicest dog's I've ever met. He even knows how to get you a beer from the fridge, how's that for a talent!?

The Dogo's were originally bred selectively from many different origins, terrier/boxer/bulldog/mastif/cordoba/great dane/pyrenees/pointer/wolf hound, but no Pit in the mix!

.......WOW!!!!...some of you are just P L A I N scary !!! Just do what i did a year ago, rented out my 2 rental properties to young single cops....both houses are on each side of mine....excellent protection since both are allowed to bring their police vehicles home!!

Yep, rotts are great guard dogs to protect your lottery winnings.

The problem isn't the dog. The problem is the neighbor. Every pit bull I've ever met has been a sweetheart, but your neighbor would almost certainly replace one with another that would turn out the same way. The right way to solve the problem is to shoot the neighbor. Ohio may not explicitly permit that, but missing the dog isn't illegal.

LOL...Great solution to the problem but it would not be legal and I could not do that at all. So I just tolerate it for as long as I can.

I feel sorry for that poor guy in NY though. Too bad he did not have a big dog or some kind of protection.

If I won alot of money from the lottery, I would tell NO ONE, not even my family.

jim695 - you know, that was why I joined this group in the first place. I wanted information on what to do if I win the lottery. In North Carolina, you can't be anonymous, no blind trust, no corporations - to my knowledge. Basically, you can decline getting your picture taken, but that's it!! A major problem is that in many counties, they have websites where people can look up your name and get your home information - how much it cost, square footage, address, phone, etc (so, yes, much more than a phone book) - and since it's by the gov't, you can't get it "erased", like when you can pay extra to not have your name and number in the phone book.

However, I have always wanted to double-check these facts. I would love to go in with you on this project.

konane - please check your CD for that information. I'd love to have that too!

looks to me as though in NY , people can and will talk ........and the theief knew something about the person who he was robbing;

your address and apt. number have never been public informaton ..and this case the thief knew who he owed a $$1,500.

only his so-called buddy knew that information..........

the fight he and the theift had was a wak-up call to buy a large german sheppard guard dog ......and a security camra then he could cover all his bases....next time it will be a woman with no underware!!!
